Chapter 40: Revised: Chapter 26 [Mr. Chen the Benefactor]_3

Remember this gesture!

Then, every morning when you wake up, burn a talisman as I’ve instructed.

Each talisman should keep you safe for a day."

Use your right hand, because for men it’s left and for women it’s right.

And the index and middle fingers extended and held together has a name in fingerprinting: it’s called the "Finger Sword."

In theory, to activate the rune, you need to use Primordial Qi, but Lu Sisi can’t move Primordial Qi.

And the "Finger Sword Seal" is one of the few gestures that even ordinary people can use to channel a little bit of Primordial Qi. (Note 1)

Lu Sisi listened intently, took the stack of paper talismans that Chen Yan handed over, and her curiosity grew even stronger on her face.

"What exactly do you do? How come you seem like one of those Feng Shui Masters in Port City."

"... I’m damn well a benefactor, here to do charity."

Chen Yan shook his head, drawing in a gasp of pain.

It hurts! It hurts so much!

The same talisman paper, four pieces sold to President Fang for over 300,000.

Eight pieces given to this little girl, and only charged 120.

I’m a damn benefactor!

From today, I’ll change my nickname to Mr. Chen the Benefactor!

"Let’s be clear!

The 120 you gave me is not a loan, I didn’t rob you, and I’m definitely not deceiving you!

This is my fee. You give me money, I help you do things.

You understand this, right? This is my rule, it can’t be mistaken."

Chen Yan solemnly reminded Lu Sisi, "Alright, you head back first. This talisman is enough for you to use for more than a week.

As for me, I’ll go back and calculate your fortunes and your Eight Characters. See if there’s any way to help you change your luck."

Lu Sisi’s eyes widened, "Is that it? You..."

"Do you think changing your luck is easy? I need time to slowly calculate and consider to come up with a solution."

After saying that, Chen Yan waved his hand, "Alright, I’ll leave now. Follow my instructions and burn a talisman every day for safety. I’ll contact you in a few days."

With that, Chen Yan got up to leave, directly pushing the door open and stepping out.

Lu Sisi watched his back shadow, pursing her lips.

Although he said that...

But she felt like she’d been tricked.

Wuwuwu...

She hated herself for being so timid...

He asked for money, and she obediently transferred it?

She looked down at the stack of Yellow Paper Talismans in her hand.

Hmm, maybe I’ll try his method today and burn one?

After all, I spent money on it.

Just as she was thinking that, the café door suddenly was pushed open again, and Chen Yan quickly ran back.

"Ah, I forgot something." Chen Yan ran up to Lu Sisi, gave her a smile, "Sorry, just need to grab something."

With that, he grabbed Lu Sisi’s hair before she could react, and she saw a flash of cold light in his hand, revealing a blade between his fingers.

Her hair was cut off by him.

Before Lu Sisi could react, Chen Yan had already yanked off the blood-stained bandage from her forehead, making her yelp in pain. He stuffed the bandage into his plastic bag.

"This has your blood on it, it’s useful for me."

After finishing this, Chen Yan waved his hand and ran off again.

Lu Sisi was stunned.

(Wuwu... I still feel like I’ve been tricked!)

(Note 1: The "Finger Sword" gesture, I read about in some miscellaneous books, seems like the Mystical Sect really has this concept. According to the Mystical Sect, pointing this gesture at someone depletes your own Primordial Qi and also harms the other person’s Qi. So if you believe in this thing, don’t casually try it, it harms both yourself and others.)
